I need to write a paper on a technology that can implements Mechanical Engineering, and was looking into that speaker technology that "throws" the sound to a specific region in 3-dimensional space. This would make personalized advertisements like you see in Minority Report possible - or you...

I'm looking for a nice set-up for my dorm room on the Carnegie Mellon University campus in Pittsburgh. I saw Headroom's summer deal that they're offering w/ the AKG K701 paired with a Desktop Amp w/ Desktop DAC. I was just wondering what everybody's thoughts were on this set-up. (I already...

I just got a Motorola SLVR L7, and was looking to put some Java games onto it. I really don't know where to begin... i have found a few .jar files online, but don't know how to get them onto the phone or install them... there doesn't seem to be a place in Mobile Phone Tools (the motorola...

I was looking at the Audigy 2 PCMCIA, but have found that to be an impossibility for my Apple. Wondering about any other good surround-sound solutions for the powerbook. I'm really wanting PCMCIA so it'll just slide in, no extra box, but if i can't find anything like that, an external box might...

i posted this in the member's lounge... figured it might be better here. i'm looking to upgrade to surround sound on my powerbook, and the Audigy 2 ZS looks good to me, just not sure of the mac support for it. It is a PCMCIA card, and i am very interested in its Mic-In as well, as i have a...

i'm looking to upgrade to surround sound on my powerbook, and the Audigy 2 ZS looks good to me, just not sure of the mac support for it. It is a PCMCIA card, and i am very interested in its Mic-In as well, as i have a mic, but no powered mic or pre-amp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a computer desk set up with my PowerBook on it in my room, but i've only got a really crappy computer spinning chair right now... i'm looking for something that's cheap but will be more comfortable.. i really like the design of the aero chairs (is that their name? the ones w/ mesh), but...

I just got the Live 8 Concert DVD (which is really good, by the way) and was interested in copying it to my iPod or making audio cd's of it. I can extract the AC3 audio file, but don't have anything to convert this to WAV or MP3. I'm using a PowerBook, so I need any software (hopefully free) to...

what are your opinions on the Plantronics Pulsar 590a? They were in the newest issue of wired, and i've been looking for some bluetooth headphones for my powerbook... anybody know how they sound? and here they are on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...64938?v=glance

I've got a few lady-friends (seniors in high-school, like me) who are interested in upgrading their headphones. This of course, made my ears perk up and listen. They aren't really picky, just have said they they want "big ones". So, i need your opinions (especially you lady-fi'ers).... i'm...

I'm looking for a wireless bluetooth mouse to go with my new powerbook. All of the microsuck ones that i've looked at come with a tranciever, which i don't need... the PowerBook has built in Bluetooth, and i want something that will just work without having to plug anything in. I'm also looking...

What do you guys think of some of these crazy "audiophile-fixes"? http://www.ilikejam.dsl.pipex.com/audiophile.htm

I'm writing a 6-8 minute expository speach for an upcoming debate. Expos is a speach that "teaches" or tells about a subject, rather than persuading. My topic right now is the college application process, and the steps to applying to college. I'm trying to find statistics or interesting facts to...

I just ordered myself a 1.67ghz 15 inch powerbook w/ 1gig of ram, the Superdrive, and a 100gig HD... I'll be using it at college, and i need some recommendations. What kind of software should i get for it (free tools, helpful programs, etc.)? I have iWork and Microsoft Office for it, but am...

I'm good friends w/ the owners of a small local coffee shop. They were looking to offer wi-fi access to their customers, and my idea was to hand out cards with the day's password with their coffee orders. I know how to set up and encrypt a wireless network, but don't know how to automatically...

one of my friends just got a 17 inch iMac, with a airport wireless card. Right now he has the cable (ethernet) going into to iMac, directly connecting to the internet. How do you configure the airport card to broadcast that signal so that another computer (a windows box) can access the internet...

as it says, i've got a task. My mother is looking for a picture of the current (2005) red sox team. I think a 2004 shot would be okay, but '05 is the preference. She's wanting a wallpaper, i believe, but find any decent sized pic and i'll just photoshop it the rest of the way. And of course, i'd...

Okay, i've got a task for all you that are good with themes of mixes. i'm gonna make a cd with a "navy" theme to it (in the navy-village people will be main feature) and i'd love some recommendations. thanks!

i'm a junior in high school and am starting my college search (oh boy!). It's really hard for me to pick schools to look into, especially because i'm not sure what major of career i'm interested in. I get mostly a's... with a few b's in my classes and am involved in quite a few extracurricular...

where's the best place to get these new? headroom?, ebay?, audio advisor?

as in the title, i am on a quest for a pda phone thing. I have a ghetto-old-school nokia 5165 and a sharp zaurus sl-5500, and was looking to combine them. I don't really like the palm treo 650, so i was wondering if there were some other options, preferably Pocket PC OS. i've read about the...

I was looking for a decent componet radio, doesn't have to be anything fancy, just something i could plug either my grado's or my speakers to... and it doesn't have to be a headphone-out port, i could just plug it into an amp that i've got lying around. I'm nearly as serious about "uber-cables"...

I wanna make a cd for a lady-friend, and was skimming my ipod looking for some good songs, but nothing really popped out at me. I don't want anything cheesy, just something meaningful. Any suggestions? I only need a few tracks.

I've got a standard BEFSR41 linksys router, and i plugit into my dsl modem, then connect through it using the router. My internet works beautifully like this, and through a wireless access point connected to the router (also linksys). I've got one problem with it, though... it won't let my...
